Hello, I'd like to see the change from sources.list to debian.sources file for the next release. There is a wishlist bug already posted for the current stable but it was too late (#1032131), and perhaps no volunteer to implement it. I cloned the repository of apt-setup [1] and tried to run it: $ mkdir output $ ./apt-setup output
After several echo and dirty modifications, there is a quiet error because 'apt-setup/progress/title doesn't exist'. I guess I'm not executing it properly. - What is the correct way to develop on this source code? - Is there a documentation about it somewhere else? Other topic on same repository: `find . -name "*ubuntu*"` shows two files: - 'generators/50mirror.ubuntu' file. It has not be modified significantly since 2015. - 'debian/apt-mirror-setup.templates-ubuntu' file. It has not be modified since 2009. Ubuntu has migrated to ubuntu.sources with 24.04 release. The new text provided inside their sources.list is not in the 'master' branch so I guess Ubuntu uses other tools or modifies it downstream. So I wonder if these files could be removed because it would an easier step than replacing sources.list to start working on the repository. - Do you know if it's deletable? - If not, do you have a right contact in Debian or Ubuntu to ask? I think to send a message to Colin Watson which was the main commiter on these files. I subscribed to the mailing list. 1: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/apt-setup Regards, -- Stéphane
